These problems appears to be identical from 0.7g to new 0.8 version of the package.
I don't know if problem (1) is somewhat connected with problem (2) anyway thei're quite different.
(1) BibLatex can't find my file examples.bib. Result is that it simply doesn't work, and DVI showing just reference keys
(2) Can't load MusixTex package ALONG with BibLatex.
This is my configuration:
- Win XP Pro sp3
- MikTex 2.7
- LyX 1.5.6 (I'll provide plain latex examples, but the LyX detail is important, see later)
- BibLaTeX 0.8 package
- MusixTex package v. T112 (latest stable release, 2005) - didn't try T113 or T114 (which seem to be quite experimental).
Let start from issues n. (1). This is my examples.tex

It's curious that the only user I found with the same problem was italian too: this girl in this italian forum, about 1 year ago (http://www.guit.sssup.it/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=3308), in which people try to help her but we lack the final (happy?) ending, and I couldnt contact these people.
Please take in consideration the following: With plain latex (MikTex) it seems there's no way to help biblatex find the .bib file. Complete path simply doesn't work. BUT if I try to compile a document of mine (a big thesis) with LyX, and I specified a COMPLETE PATH (thing I never had to do with LyX) for the .bib file, IT SUDDENLY WORKS --- PERFECT. If I don't remember specify or updating FULL PATH (no matter it is in the same directory of LyX file), it give exactly the same problems listed before.
So this just seems a matter of helping "Biblatex find the path of the .bib".
As I use LyX, I don't care about this problem right NOW. I fear it could give problems in future, and to other users.
I do care much more about issue (2) which I think is not connected with (1)
Because of problem n. (1) I can test problem n. (2) only with LyX (which uses a lot of code) ANYWAY:
I had MusixTex perfectly run until I started to use Biblatex. If I only TRY to load MusixTex BEFORE biblatex, I obtain this:
Code: Select all
[...] Command \addspace already defined. [...]
l.1173 \space\blx@resetpunctbook}

Please help fix this, I NEED IT!!!!
Thank you very much.

[FIXED: thanks to BibLaTeX developer P. LEhmann, 1st issue was just a multi-pass matter, 2nd one was a naming conflict fixed with an edit in the biblatex.cfg file]
